I so like this one “I like to call it night-time brain: the way your mind seems to function on a different frequency than it does during daylight hours – which can be good or bad but also can lead to unexpected epiphanies or experiences that wouldn’t be the same at any other time of day.” I could add that the 2:00 am brain is the most active.
